A Miguel Borgia what happened to very few in the history of Fiume: sWe won the first ovation even without playing for a minute. And is that the Monumental It exploded when the Colombian broke his chest at the call of Marcelo Gallardo. Y Pablo Cesare Solari In the few minutes he spent on the pitch he showed what he’s made of: the first one he received went under the sole and got lost to the side. After, He asked for them all, faced them and gave himself a couple of passes that didn’t end up in assists at all. Conclusion: the beginnings of the last two reinforcements have generated illusion in the fans of the Núñez cast.
Solari didn’t mind River’s shirt. At least in its first participation. It’s possible that your experience in Colo Colo, one of Chile’s giants, will help you adapt. The one born 21 years ago in Arizona, San Luis, won the applause in a couple of heats in the right sector. He also put three dangerous centers on the spot that almost did not end in scoring. His physique surprised him, both his height and muscle mass, his determination to move forward and his ease in attempting luxurious moves, such as throwing a pipe or a cue. River’s best minutes were when he joined Esequiel Barco and the team went from 4-1-4-1 to 4-3-3. One possibility is that he will play from the start on Sunday in Mar del Plata against Aldosivi.
Perhaps Borja was applauded by the goals that are yet to come. The Colombian has a presence and was noticed in seconds. He showed himself far from the ideal rhythm; Shooting is also lacking to be finer in touches. But he’s a typical area forward who gets between the center backs and doesn’t move too far from there. The feeling is that sooner or later the target will be found because the River model 2022 needs a tank in the area: he will be the finisher of the incessant play by band. And he has something you can’t buy anywhere: charisma. That’s why he knelt for long seconds praying before entering and even dared to lift the fans in the final moments.

The support of the fans is very important, it gives confidence. Their support will always be there and this motivates “Borja released after the victory against Gimnasia. And he continued: “I felt good, I am grateful to God for the opportunity to come here. The stage is very beautiful, I imagined it that way because he is one of the most loyal fans in the country ”.
Both Gallardo and the fans will have to get used to Borja: in the cycle of Doll never played with a 9 so marked. The one who most resembles him is Lucas Alario, even if the Tube I had more mobility. The challenge will be that the Colombian is committed to recovery, something in which Julián Álvarez was enormous.
“Here everything is very intense, it is a dynamic football compared to the one experienced in Colombia. Little by little we are settling down with our teammates, ”said the 29-year-old Colombian. And he closed: “Marcelo Gallardo was the one who motivated me the most to come, you need a coach like him. With Palavecino I began to understand, I know Juanfer and Armani from before ”.
There were presentations by Miguel Borja and Pablo Solari and balance has the color of hope. In Mar del Plata, against Aldosivi, the second will go.
